🔴Scrapper Review 👀– Fizzing, vital Exploration of the Father-daughter bond ✅
0The feature debut from 29-year-old Londoner Charlotte Regan, Scrapper brims with sugar-fuelled youthful energy and an itchy, endless scroll of ideas. Taking a cue from Georgie’s co-dependent relationship with her phone, Regan employs jump cuts and a skittish camera (the film is deftly shot by Molly Manning Walker, whose own directorial debut, How to Have Sex, is out later this year). The colour palette – tangerine, mint green and milkshake pink – seems to have been inspired by a packet of Refreshers sweets. Video game speech bubbles pop up on screen from a Greek chorus of onlooking spiders. Not everything works: statements to camera from teachers, neighbours and social workers land heavily. But mostly Regan’s unfiltered approach brings a fizzing unpredictability and vitality to this abrasively empathic exploration of a father-daughter bond.
